Have been using neighbour's slazenger pro blade panther bat of late which is a touch lighter than what I normally use and I'm loving it. It has a good sweet spot. I faced some problems about timing due to less weight of it but now I've got hold of it man, what a fabulous it is! Just wow!

now using a spartan MC 329 LE it is a beast of a bat honestly the best ive ever used. and im about to start a sponsorship deal with woodstock cricket so will soon be using woodstock Curves

Do you guys choose your bats cause of the name and good things you heard about it or do you use it due to the position of its sweet spot and where you usually make contact with a ball?

You're not actually allowed to try out the bat in the shop, because of safety, so I usually google it or find a player that I like and see the bat that they are using.

I know that but to use a bat someone else use is not the best advice. Every bat have a sweet spot situated at a different area. The area they strike the ball 99 percent of the time is the area you usually want your sweet spot. So you will buy a bat according to your style.

Easy way without advance tech like professionals use take a old bat and use a wet ball and see which area on the bat you hit most of the time. Then go online and research where the bats sweet spots are and get one for your specific style.

That is what I do when I select a bat.

I use a balbro bat,i hope no one has heard it before :P
kinda look like this :P

I wonder if someone smuggled a rubber layer in the blade part how that bat would perform as I can bet it will absorb most of the shock and give a nice sweetspot. What does the ICC rules state about it as I know some bats was withdrawn cause of a technology used and then the ICC declare it illegal.

I'm a proud owner of a Gray Nic e41 King. Got it pretty early before season started, so I had the pick of the crop. Took me about 1/2 an hour to decide between that and an Adidas.
It's performance willow, which means it was picked not to look amazing but perform amazing. It's 11 grain but with a few butterfly's and what not. The middle is second to none, phenomal, all tha's needed is timing. Getting the ball anywhere near the middle and it just flies off. I'll post pics soon.

I have a Reebok Smash (Kashmir Willow bat) which I bought just for the heck of it, not knowing how much cricket I would end up playing going forward.. but since I have started playing cricket again (and its more than occasionally now ).. just got my English Willow RNS Larsons T20i (I think just a step below their popular Unik). For the uninitiated, RNS guys are India (Jalandhar, Punjab) based manufacturer.

Initial reviews: I must say really impressed with the ping of the bat.. still knocking the bat with the hammer at the moment, but initial impressions pretty good!

Some pics, that I clicked:

Kookaburra Rogue 200. Just started playing again after many years out of action, so this is plenty good enough for me at the moment. I'll probably know more about the bat when I actually start middling them again
